Brighton Ends Winless Streak with 2-0 Victory

Brighton & Hove Albion secured their first Premier League victory since November with a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town, ending an eight-game winless streak. The goals came from Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter, the latter sealing the game with a flicked finish nine minutes from the end. Ipswich had opportunities in the first half but were unable to capitalize, with Brighton's goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen making crucial saves. After Mitoma's opener just before the hour mark, Brighton dominated the game, restricting Ipswich's chances significantly in the second half. This win lifts Brighton to ninth in the standings, while Ipswich falls back into the relegation zone, now sitting 17th. Both teams will reflect on how the season could have progressed differently had they converted more draws into wins during their campaigns.
